This bill proposes amendments to the Arkansas Constitution, specifically targeting Amendments 91 and 101, to expand the use of proceeds generated under Amendment 91 for multilane highway improvements. The key change involves replacing the term "four-lane" with "multilane," which broadens the scope of highway projects eligible for funding. Additionally, the bill establishes a special account for these proceeds and outlines procedures for issuing general obligation bonds to finance the improvements. It also asserts the General Assembly's authority to amend constitutional amendments with a two-thirds vote, aiming to clarify the definition of "measure" to include amendments, thereby enhancing legislative flexibility in adapting highway funding mechanisms.

Furthermore, the bill amends Amendment 101 to change the designation of the highway system funded by a one-half percent sales and use tax from "four-lane" to "multilane" and repeals certain provisions of Amendment 91 related to the submission of the temporary sales and use tax to voters. The deleted language included details about ballot measures and specific purposes for tax revenue, such as securing bonds for highway construction. The bill includes an emergency clause, highlighting the critical state of the highway system for public health and safety, and emphasizes the urgency for immediate funding to address infrastructure needs. It will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor or if not vetoed within the specified timeframe.
